He was not long in reaching the conclus-
ion that he himself was the lever which
had uplieaved the female colony; the re-
’ceipt of that money; the discontinuance
of the flux purchases, and other indica-
tions were too convincing. He felt that
the old lady had detected his stratagem, I
and events spoke plainly and solemnly that
he was not the hero of her fancy. Still,
the syinbolical responses of the daughter
‘and all her recent deportment, revived
_ his hopes and restored his cotirage. His
first busiiies now was to learn whither
they had fled, that he, might adopt some
other scheme of communication. Their
new quarters were soon discovered, but,
too modest to remove to the same neigh-
borhood, he contented himself by finding
the church in which they performed mass.
Contriving to all in her way on her daily
return from thence, he gave her such rec-
ognitions as would render all billet dotix
explanations superfluous. _

Frank would have made little impression
by his stealthy manoeuvres; but, she had
no\v reached that critical age, when moth-
er Nature and mother Bridget, with their
lessons and wise counsels, came in con-
stant collision. The one. taught her to
know sensations through secret instincts
for which no name could be given, and
commended them to her as the panacea of
life; the other warned her against all im-
pulses of passion, to which she would not
give the true name, but which, (her word
for it was as iernicious as oison itself.

The one animated her heart, in its Lent of
life, with a generous warmth; the other
strived to extinguish it and keep it as re-
‘sistable and cold as a turnip in an icevault.
These antipodal pedagogueic systems of
the good mothers,placed the yielding heart
of the daughter in the position of a vessel

course. s. ie a ere to those virtues and
to that modesty which had been inculcated
throughout her life, and her heart was sus-
ceptible to every tender influence. Now,
as neioihbor Frank was the first individual
who llrtld aroused these sleepy sensibilities
she felt an attractionctoward him, which
she did not wholly comprehend, but which
maidens ofmorc experience would readily
proiiotince Love. 1-Ience her regrets at
leaving the narrow street,—lience trem-
bled, at times the tear drop in her ‘beauti-
ful eye,-—hence did she feel so grateful to
Frank for his passing, street recognitions,
Causing her cheeks to glow with blushes.
In the region ofthe fourth flat, which
mother Bridget now occupied, t_here were
alsogneiglibors, and among them too, some
window gazers ; for the fine form ofMeta
could not long remain concealed from ad-
mirers. Directly opposite dwelt a respect-
able brewer, who,,owing to the magnitude
of his operations was denominated “the
hop kin.¢z.” He was an active young wid-
ower whose year of mourning was just
expiring, and who now without any breach
of propriety, might look around for a
companion to fill the drear vacancy in his
household. Immediately after the demise
ofhis lamented wife, he pledged himself,
in all secresy, to his patron saint Cliristo-
phiis, that he would sacrifice a waxtaper
as long as a hop stem and as a thick as a
lace tree, if he would grant that his second
choice of afrau, should be as‘ happy for‘
him as his lirst had been. As soon as he
beheld the chaririing figure of Meta, he
fancied he saw in it the finger ofSt. Chris-
tophns, and viewed it as it special wink
from above. He was wholly destitute of
musical talents. and a simpleton in all the
symbolical languages of love ; but he had
a large amount of capital in his business,
a ship on the \Veser, and a cottage in the
suburbs. VVith such attractions he might
have expected to be able to captivate some
suitable damsel without the aid of Saint
Christophus, especially if the damsel was
portionless.
After the fashion of his fathers before
him, he went straight to the ‘right smith,’
and disclosed to the old lady in a neighbor-
ly manner, his Christian intentions in re-
gard to her daughter. No_ angel visit,
could have given grea_ter delight to Motli-
er Bridget. She now saw the bright per-'
spective of her discreet plans, and her;

never in her life more deceived, for upon
this unexpected disclosure, .Meta did not
become red like the rose, but as white as
snow. A cloud gf dizziness darkened her
senses, and she stink powerless into the
arms ofher mother. As_ soon as the appli-
cation of water had reversed the current of
her blood and restored her to conscious-
ness, the tears streamed from her eyes as
‘if something very distressinghad occurred
The sagacious mother was not long in ar-
riving at the conclusion that the proposed
alliance was repugnant to her child’s feel-
entreatics nor warnings were spared to
pursade her to embrace. this flattering op-
ta, however could not be convinced that
her happiness would result in a connexion
which her heart could not sanction. The
matter continued in debate during several

pallid countenance, the loss of appetite,
and sleepless nights of her daughter.—-
Grief was praying silently upon her sensi-
tive heart, and debility soon followed.-
Observing that the prop of her hopes was
shaking, and fearing that she might be de-
prived of both capital and interest, the ten-
der mother deemed it prudent to part with
the latter to secure the former. She there-
ter’s will with a becoming show of cheer-
ful resignation.
VVhen, on the appointed day, the wid-
ower called for an answer, in the coiifi-
dence that his agent of bliss had brought
the preliminaries to a favorable issue, he
was doomed to listen to the: unhappy ti-
ed insuch soothing terms as greatly to
modify his disappointment, causing them
as the failure of some profitable operationl
in wealth. And in reality, he had little;
cause of uneasiness; his father-stadt,l
had no dearth of damsels—-maidens, too,
who answered well the description of the,‘
wise king in attractive matrimonial endow-,
ments. Notwithstanding his discomfiture,;

TI-IE WRECK or THE SWALLOW.
A correspondent of the Charleston ‘Mercury,
writing from New York gives some incident of
this terrible disaster which we have not else-
where seen in prim. He says——
I have seen several of those who were
on l)0f1il'.l at the time of the accident two
ofivhom were taken out of the water in
an unconscious state. One of them was
saved by climbing up the post that sup-
ports tlie upper deck, where he held on
the rim of he deck, begging those who
were above to take hold of one of his
wrists, as he could then get over the edge;
the greater number passed him unheeded,
but one iiian told him “that lie was dying
of cold if not by drowning,:ind that if the
young man below wotil-..l procure a cloak

H, n
pThc young man got the cloak with con
sidcrable difficulty and danger, and liaii-
édcd it tip. 'I lie man snatched it and walk-
ted off! The boat coiitiiitied to settle until
ghe could scarcely keep his head above
iwater. \Vhile in that situation, he heard
ithe lamentations of a child probably about
gthree years old. It was suffering from
icold. He tried to encourage its motliei'
lwitli the hope of speedy relief; but in the
fainter and faintcrand finally ended. The
mother said it was asleep and then her
‘own voice gradually waxed fainter until it
ceased and no answer was returned to his
qtiestioiis, and she propably loosened her
hold and sank into the water. A feeling
of torpor then overcame him, and when
restored he found hiinself at Athens.
The other gentlcinan, being a good
,swiinmer, attenipted to swim ashore with
7;a bag of gold on his arm, \\hicli had been
leiitrusted to him by a young lady, and her
isole property. The exceeding coldness
‘of the water affected him very soon, and
the dropped the bag; afterward his coat
gbecoming saturated with water, he at-
ltempted to pull it offand sticcecdcd, all
[but one sleeve, which resisted all his efl'-
lorts from the swelling of the imder coat.
lHe finally wrcnclied it open with his teeth,
lbut the effort was so exliausting that lie
lsoon lost all consciousness until he found
;himself in a room at Hudson, liaviiig been
